We have all seen them. In fact, they’re scattered all over
the city and many people may not know or see the potential they have. We’re
talking about the Vancouver Special, that typical style of house which has a
box-like structure, a balcony across the front, and a low-pitched roof. The
outside usually has brick finishes on the lower level and stucco on top. Some
people have even been known to deem these houses as “monster homes”.
Built from 1965 to 1985, the style of the Vancouver Special
was regarded as sturdy, quick, and cheap to make by building standards. The
floor plans are functional with living quarters on the upper floor and
secondary bedrooms on the bottom. This makes an ideal setup for secondary
suites.
Although these houses may not be the easiest on the eyes,
the potential to create a stunning, modern home is extremely high. Smart
investors are using these “monster homes” as templates for creating posh,
modern homes. And because the Vancouver Special was built so well and so sturdy,
it’s making the transformation only a matter of renovating the aesthetics and
finishings.
Savvy investors and builders in Vancouver have definitely
caught on to the maximized potential the Vancouver Special has. Investing in a
box-like house type and adding just a little ingenuity, the Vancouver Specials
are being transformed into high-end, modern, and sought-after homes.
With Vancouver Specials slowly fading into
modernized residences, integrating original special features is creating a
certain vintage-modern look that is deeming very profitable and eye-catching to
many Vancouverites.
If you’re interested in these unique-to-Vancouver houses,
there are plenty of authentic ones around the city. Last year The Vancouver Heritage Foundation
lead a Vancouver Special tour, showcasing 5 unique Specials that had all been
completely renovated. We aren’t sure if The Heritage Foundation will be leading
this tour again this year, so if you’re interested in seeing some original
Vancouver Specials that are on the market waiting to be modernized, please
don’t hesitate to contact us.

We first mentioned this project 955 East Hastings Street back in September 2012 when it was still a proposed development and not yet approved. Well, not only has this large (or what some are calling “mega”) East Vancouver condo development been approved, it has a name, Wall Centre 900 Hastings. Touting the tagline “Proudly Strathcona”, we can’t help but think that Rennie Marketing Systems is trying to appeal to the local community who have raised concerns about having a development of this size in their neighbourhood (first large scale condo in the area). Based solely off their newly launched website 900hastings.com we know this 283 unit condo development will have “15 floors of views”, resemble stacks of shipping containers, and be priced starting from $249,900. The Wall Financial 900 Hastings presentation centre and showroom will open this fall 2013 and sales begin spring 2014.
As we learn more about this new East Vancouver condo development we’ll be sure to update you! If you have any questions or comments about the Vancouver real estate market, please feel free to contact award-winning Vancouver Realtor Jeff Fitzpatrick anyti... read more...
